GARANT — a mid-late maturing potato variety for table use, with oval-round tubers, characterized by high yield and high starch content. The maturing period is 95–110 days, allowing for a stable harvest at optimal times. Tubers have yellow, smooth skin and creamy flesh, with starch content ranging from 18.5–21.5%, making the variety suitable for various culinary purposes. The average weight of marketable tubers varies from 95 to 132 grams, and the number of tubers per plant reaches 6–10. Tubers have high storability — 85–98% — ensuring good preservation during storage.
